Aroldis Chapman says he wants 6 years; Cubs not showing interest

Aroldis Chapman wants a six-year deal and says the Chicago Cubs haven't shown interest in bringing him back.

Speaking to ESPN's Marly Rivera on the phone, Chapman said that the only thing he has asked for in negotiations is the term of his next deal.

"The only thing I have expressed that I would like is a six-year contract," the left-hander said. "I know that doesn't mean that I will get it, but that's what I would like to sign. There are rumors out there that I requested $100 million, and that's not true at all. I believe that if you deserve something, you don't ask for it."

Chapman has not had direct communications with teams yet.
